This is the troubleshooting procedure for situations where the engine does not restart when attempting to restart it after a failed engine start occurred under stop and start system control.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN THE ENGINE STOP AND START ECU AND THE STARTER ASSEMBLY ARE REPLACED
When the engine stop and start ECU is replaced, it is necessary to read the number of starter operations before replacement and store this number in the new engine stop and start ECU after replacement, and to perform external backup boost converter (eco run vehicle converter assembly) existence learning. Moreover, initialization/learning of the air conditioning information and initialization/learning of the deceleration sensor zero point are also required.
When the starter assembly is replaced, the number of starter operations stored in the engine stop and start ECU must be reset.
When the starter assembly is replaced, "ST relay" must be also replaced.
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
PRECAUTIONS FOR FOUR-WHEEL TOWING
Do not tow the vehicle with all 4 wheels on the ground.
Towing the vehicle with all 4 wheels on the ground may have a detrimental effect on the stop and start system, and could lead to damage.
If it is absolutely necessary to tow the vehicle with all 4 wheels on the ground, before towing first turn the ignition switch off. Then, turn the ignition switch to ON without starting the engine, and tow the vehicle.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN REPLACING ECM
When the ECM is replaced on a vehicle with a non-specified auxiliary battery, it is necessary to perform auxiliary battery type switching.
Using the GTS, check Vehicle Control History (RoB).

| Vehicle Control History (RoB) |
Checking the freeze frame data allows the vehicle conditions at the time of detection to be confirmed.
As Vehicle Control History (RoB) may be overwritten whenever the trigger conditions are met, make sure to save the Vehicle Control History (RoB) data before performing any inspections.

|---|---|
| Vehicle control history (RoB) [X0874: Stop & Start Restart Failure (Engine Restart after Engine Stall)] is output | A |
